Well Wisconsin Program Incentive Updates

Employees and spouses currently enrolled in the State Group Health Insurance plan are eligible for an annual $150 wellness incentive (administered by StayWell). Below are updates to the 2018 Well Wisconsin program as well as an update on previously communicated changes to the 2019 program.

2018: In addition to completing the health screening and health assessment, a Well Wisconsin Well-Being activity will also be required in 2018 to earn the $150 wellness incentive. A few examples of well-being activities are: Million Steps Challenge, 21 Day Meditation Experience and Self-Directed Coaching. More information about the Well Wisconsin Well-Being activities is available on the StayWell website. To earn the 2018 incentive, one Well Wisconsin Well-Being activity, the health screening and health assessment must be completed and submitted to StayWell by October 19, 2018.

2019: Changes to the wellness incentive structure were considered in 2017. One consideration was to provide a premium differential instead of the current wellness incentive $150 gift card. It has been decided that a change to a premium differential will not take place for 2019. This option will continue to be explored by the Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF).
